The Olympic is coming in 18 days and the Chinese people are doing all they can to hold a successful event. On 19 July, Beijing opened three new subway lines to ease traffic during the Olympic Games.
They are :
the Airport Line
Line 10
and the Olympic Branch Line
These three lines are expected to significantly expand the capacity of the city's underground transport and therefore ease the traffic jam. The price for line 10 and the Olympic Branch Line is 2 yuan and price for the Airport line is 25 yuan. If you are going to the National Stadium or the Bird’s Nest but don’t know how to get there, there will be no need for you to worry about getting lost! The subway lie will take you there directly. Of course, it’s better to know something about Beijing. Preparing before hand is better!

Isnt the Olympic Branch line only open for competitors and officials?
With the difficulty getting visas and all the security being instigated a lot of people will just stay away which is a pity. The Shenzhen paper is reporting that at present bookings for 5-star hotels are running at about 70-75% and 4-star as low as 60%. Still with the prices they are charging that will give a higher revenue than 100% at normal rates.
